April 2025 | Review | Obscure Sound

Influential indie music blog Obscure Sound featured Billy Bonbon's self-titled track, praising it as "a twangy, summer-set rock delight" and calling it "a stylish, approachable success" while adding it to their coveted 'Emerging Singles' Spotify playlist.

"Easy-Going Guitar Drives" with The Cure Influence

Obscure Sound highlighted the track's "easy-going guitar drives and accompanying music video—aptly depicting good times and fun, silly jubilation in a sun-soaked city." The review drew connections to The Cure, noting how "the initially melancholic guitar work showcases that darkened tint—while ensuing bursts of guitars and delectably lush vocals conjure a more modern shine."

The blog particularly praised the song's dynamic evolution, noting that "an especially enthusiastic vocal push arrives past the four-minute mark, weaving in seamlessly as the bouncy bass and surf-y guitar work converge wonderfully."

Added to Obscure Sound's 'Emerging Singles' Playlist

The feature included placement on Obscure Sound's influential 'Emerging Singles' Spotify playlist, a curated collection that has helped launch numerous indie artists into wider recognition.
